How Oculus Rift could look when Facebook's consumer version is ready

Things you might also like

We've seen plenty of prototypes of the Oculus Rift, each of which looking large and cumbersome, albeit a little more rounded with each generation. However, there's still not a sniff of a consumer version and when it does arrive, will the Facebook-owned Oculus VR expect the general public to invest in the same clunky headsets?

Or will it redesign the product to look more in-fitting with modern gadgetry. After all, Sony's Project Morpheus is a fairly sleek-looking device that trounces the strap-an-egg-box-to-your-face mentality of the Rift in a beauty contest.

Therefore, designer Carlos Pendas has designed an Oculus Rift concept that would sit more with consumers. It has three main features: a curved screen, integrated headphones and a gesture recognition system. But most importantly, it is light and aesthetically pretty.

Of course, Pendas designed it for a spot of fun, but considering the end result, we'd be disappointed now if the consumer Oculus Rift headset is anything else.
